Bnd Maven Plugin Changes

bnd-maven-plugin

• When generating the Bundle-Version manifest header, previous versions of this plugin always replaced the string SNAPSHOT in the version qualifier with the value of the Bnd ${tstamp} macro. The plugin now instead sets the Bnd instruction -snapshot: ${tstamp}. This will replace the qualifier value of SNAPSHOT with the the value of the Bnd ${tstamp} macro. Using the -snapshot instruction allows the user to override the plugin behavior in the bnd.bnd file. For example, to retain the string SNAPSHOT as the version qualifier, set -snapshot: SNAPSHOT in the bnd.bnd file.
• The plugin will avoid writing output if none of the input files to the bundle are changed. This helps with incremental builds in M2E.

Other Notable Changes

Backwards compatibility

• The bnd-maven-plugin changed how SNAPSHOT is replaced with ${tstamp} in the Bundle-Version header value. See above for details.
• The Bnd annotations will be deprecated in a future release of Bnd. Please make plans to migrate to the OSGi Release 6 specified annotations which now offer more features than the bnd annotations.

Known Issues

• None at this time.
